**Haryana YouTuber Detained Over Allegations of Espionage for Pakistan**

*Jyoti Malhotra's arrest raises questions about travel influencers and national security amid India-Pakistan tensions.*


*Authorities claim she was linked to a Pakistani official, while her family refutes the espionage accusations.*


Police in Haryana arrested Jyoti Malhotra, a prominent YouTuber and travel influencer, on suspicions of spying for Pakistan. Malhotra, who has reportedly visited Pakistan several times—including a trip in March 2025—allegedly maintained contact with a Pakistani official from the High Commission in India, recently expelled for actions deemed incompatible with his diplomatic role.

Her father has vehemently denied the allegations, asserting that Jyoti had the requisite permissions for her travels to Pakistan. Noted for her social media presence, boasting over 377,000 YouTube subscribers and 133,000 Instagram followers, Malhotra describes herself as a "modern girl with old ideas." However, police have raised concerns over the sources of her travel funding, citing frequent trips to other countries, including Indonesia and Thailand, that may not align with her declared income.

Authorities assert that she was in communication with "Pakistani intelligence operatives" and a Pakistani citizen, suggesting potential ties to broader espionage activities, including the recent attack in Pahalgam. Additional investigations are underway, with indications that other influencers might have collaborated with her during her travels.

This case follows heightened military tensions between India and Pakistan, which escalated following an alleged militant attack on tourists in Kashmir. The Pakistani government also expelled an Indian diplomat around the same period, citing similar security concerns. Amid this backdrop of international relations, Malhotra's arrest highlights a growing intersection of social media and national security issues in a heavily polarized geopolitical landscape.
